  Imo, even taking away the spying thing, windows design is just awful and they somehow manage to pile up fuckups and poor choices as they release new OSs.

    It pretty much comes down to wanting to monetize the user experience instead of simply wanting to charge for the OS in the traditional way. The user becomes the commodity instead of the software.

      They do charge in the traditional way for the OS.

      They also charge the OEMs.

      They just want more. The line must always go up.

        Hence why I went with “simply charge for the OS”. They are moving from monetizing the software to monetizing the user.
